Naturally, the SpongeBob Kyrie 5 features a yellow sponge inspired upper complete with hits of white and red, referencing the beloved character's shirt and tie. A gum outsole sits beneath the build, just like his patented shorts.
Meanwhile, the "Patrick Star" Kyrie 5 is highlighted by it's pink construction, yellow midsole and "Patrick Star" detailing behind the tongue. Both colorways come equipped with Nickelodeon branding on the tongue shroud with "NIKE" text on the heel inspired by the show title's font.
